Corrie I use two spoons, one with the pill and the other to flatten and powder it as fine as possible. Than at a drop of there favoured treat to form a paste, at an few more drops of the liquid without mixing and bingo before he\she knows the difference, it's all over.......well most times. If some left a little more oil, or whatever, will leave the spoon nice and clean and a happy ferret. BILL [Posted in FML issue 1397]
